...other Obama administration guidelines are more striking, even strange. For example, officials are to "minimize references to Al Qaeda" because Osama bin Laden is dead and "Al Qaeda and its adherents have become increasingly irrelevant."Why, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised.
Wait, say what? Irrelevant? So, the nearly 100,000 U.S. troops in Afghanistan are after who, Butch Cassidy?
This 10th anniversary 9/11 talking point comes out in the same month as the downing of a U.S. helicopter killing 38 troops, the deadliest incident of the Afghan war, making this the deadliest month for Americans in the 10-year conflict.
Do you think minimizing Al Qaeda's capabilities in the face of fatal evidence to the contrary could be connected with Obama's desire for a rapid U.S. troop withdrawal before the 2012 presidential election?

ReplyDeleteThe government telling us what to say. Isn't that close to telling us what to think?
ReplyDeleteSeems I've heard of this before.
In 1984.
All the troops are in Afghanistan are looking for the oil pipeline that Bu$hitler hid when he exited the Presidency.
ReplyDeleteDidn't I hear that the rebels in Lybia just let 600 members of al Qaeda out of prison?
Makes me glad I'm not a government employee so that I can mention OBL, Al Qaeda, the murdered, etc.
ReplyDeletePaco, Obama wouldn't know who Butch is. Bet that's not one they had for movie night. By-the-way, I heard the Sundance Kid is a bit out of sorts with Barry the O Kiddie at the moment.

"Osama bin Laden is dead and "Al Qaeda and its adherents have become increasingly irrelevant."'
ReplyDeleteHitler is dead and the Nazis are pretty much irrelevant, but we still make a big deal out of both in discussing World War II.
